Darling house near the water

Couldn’t get any cuter than this. Perfect place to stay when in Homer. Located on a cute street within walking distance to a couple great breakfast places and the beach. Both bedrooms have a full size bed and a twin. The upstairs balcony has a great view of the water. The cabin is charming and has everything you need. We didn’t cook there as Homer has great food, highly recommend the Twisted Goat, but kitchen seemed well equipped. Bathrooms were a good size and the place was well layer out.

Cozy Home Base

Great home base with a stocked kitchen and grill. It's a close walk to the beach and to 2 Sisters Bakery - both excellent options to start your day. The rooms were clean and exactly as shown in the photos. The upstairs balcony was awesome. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location in Homer

This place was very close to the beach ( within walking distance!) and close to just about anything you would want to do in Homer. It was clean, had very cute furnishings, and was exactly what we needed! Great find!

The proximity to Bishop Beach is superb. Clean and spacious place. Property manager was extremely helpful. The beds were a little uncomfortable, but other than that, it’s a solid place to stay.

Very nice cottage

We stayed 5 nights in the Homer cottage. The location was nice with the beach across the road from the cottage. The Homer Spit was about a 2 mile drive away. The Spit has many nice shops with jewelry to tshirts. The piers have fishing boats and charter boats. We went to a few restaurants on the spit. I loved the bbq food truck at the very beginning of the spit. We also loved the 2 sisters bakery an easy 5 minute walk from the Cottage. Overall we enjoyed our stay. My only negative was no blackout curtains and it stayed light outside till 1-2am and i like sleeping in darkness. New curtains and I think this cottage would be perfect!!

Great property and location

It was a great property and location, walking distance to the water and shops / restaurants. It was as clean and well appointed as it could be for the age, location and allowing dogs. The owner was helpful and easy to contact.

Small but cute

Beds were comfortable, but there was no comfortable place to sit inside. It rained one of the days we were there, and we spent a lot of time inside. The toilets were very low and difficult to use as we are in our seventies. It would have been much easier with a grab bar. The house was nicely decorated and had all the dishes and utensils you would need. There was even coffee in the fridge - thank you.

Great family house

We enjoyed the Sea Gypsy so much we returned for a second year. Connie is a great host and responsive to all our questions/needs. The house accommodated our family age ranges of 5-73 yrs old with bathroom on each level and plenty of sleeping space. Our kids loved the second floor family area. We love the decks and ability to cut out some quiet time for the younger kids on the second or first floor when needed. The kids had a nice space to run around in the yard as well. The location is great! We were able to walk down to Beluga Slough in just a couple minute. Bishops beach was just a couple more. We also enjoyed visiting Islands and Ocean Center for Bird Festival activities. We will be back!

Beautiful and Spacious

We were thrilled when we step into this townhouse: spacious with lots of windows and a great view (except for the semi trailer parked across the street). The only thing I missed having was a washer and dryer. Walking distance to restaurants and a few shops and the beach.

Great spot by the beach and bakery

Perfect location for a week in Homer, and a very comfortable cottage. We enjoyed the cranes and eagles at the nearby beach. Only issue was weak Wi-Fi signal for phones but computers could connect.

Great Stay!

We stayed at the Sea Gypsy for two nights. The location is fantastic... very close to restaurants and the beach was within walking distance. The house itself was very well equipped and set up worked great for us. My husband and I stayed in the downstairs bedroom and our grown son & girlfriend stayed in the upstairs bedroom. It was wonderful to have the privacy at night and also the shared space upstairs and down. We all wish we had more time to spend on the balcony! We all enjoyed Two Sisters Bakery just down the street and walking the trail just down the block. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it to others!

Wonderful Place and Location

We had two couples, 2 very youngins, and a dog - we all fit so well! Each floor has a bathroom and a bedroom, and a couch. We put the futon down upstairs to watch a movie, and we cooked in the kitchen downstairs. Our friends who frequent Homer said it was the best rental they've stayed in. Great location, a short walk to the beach/food, and a short drive to the spit. We would definitely stay here again. The deck was a great spot to have a meal, too! The property manager was friendly, very quick to reply through text, and we had no issues.

Wonderful Homer House

Terrific home. Great location. Lots of fun for 3 family members and 1 dog. Very clean and organized. Property manager Connie went out of her way to communicate with us. Especially appreciated her calls regarding the tsunami warning. All ended up well but her thoughtfulness was very much appreciated.
